[Catalyst] check_user_roles [ $user ], @roles ?

[Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann]

 From the code:

    if ( Scalar::Util::blessed( $roles[0] )
        && $roles[0]->isa("Catalyst::Authentication::User") )
    {
        $user = shift @roles;
    }

    $user ||= $c->user;

    unless ( $user ) {
        Catalyst::Exception->throw(
            "No logged in user, and none supplied as argument");
    }

    Catalyst::Exception->throw("User does not support roles")
      unless $user->supports(qw/roles/);



i think you can give a string ... you must load the user into a 
user-object fit for the Authorization::Roles
